"Our strategy does not hinge on people moving all-digital"
What just happened? Xbox boss Phil Spencer has been talking about the future of the brand, revealing two interesting bits of information: Xbox still intends for day one Activision Blizzard games to appear on Game Pass, which could include this year's Call of Duty; and it will continue to support physical games – for now.
In brief: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is not making the sort of headlines Activision Blizzard hoped for: potentially the lowest rated game of the entire series, UK boxed sales down 25%, one of Metacritic's worst games of 2023, and reports that it was made in half the time as other entries in the franchise.
